Hi Bill,
Thanks for the help! I will shoot you a PM another day. I hope to work on the couch tonight for a bit. Have even roped the daughter into helping some. Teenagers...
I think I have a short in the fuel gauge wiring because when I turn the key on the fuel gauge goes from resting to pegged below E. The previous owners thinks it had around a quarter tank when parked, but he isn't certain. I have added 10 gallons to the tank, so I know it isn't bone dry. The manual states that it holds 150 gallons. I'm going to dip the tank and see how deep the fuel is, then measure the height of the tank and make an educated guess on the amount actually there.
This is all being done for two reasons. First off, I don't want to run dry on fuel while testing systems and create a new problem. Secondly, since the fuel gauge reads empty the generator won't start because it thinks there is no fuel. Not a high item on my priority list, but the curiosity is killing me...

Hopefully, I will wrap up the coolant leaks tonight. Wish me luck!!
